What is the Pinewood Derby Superstar Medal-Gold?

Pinewood Derby Superstar Medal-Gold. A medal in wood, specified for decoration and for daily use rather than for a display shelf. It measures 2". This is the gold colorway.

Wood carries a warmth that metal and acrylic do not, and that is why it keeps showing up on service awards and retirement pieces where the message is personal rather than corporate..

Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. Laser engraving burns directly into the grain for a permanent mark. Expect slight tonal variation between pieces.

At this level the item is buying attention rather than gratitude. Order enough to be generous with it, because restraint here saves very little and costs reach. Concretely: $1.80 each at 1-11, $1.12 at 500+.

Decoration options

The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 1.2 in x 1 in.

Laser Engraving

A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.

Best for

Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.

Color

Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.

UV Printing

UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.

Best for

Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.

Color

Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.

Artwork requirements

  • Supply Pantone (PMS) references for any color that has to match exactly.
  • Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
  • If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
  • Type should be converted to curves or outlines, otherwise a missing font silently substitutes on our end.
  • Raster artwork should be at least 300 dpi at the finished imprint size, on a transparent or white background.
  • Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.

Common uses

Races and tournamentsA natural fit for races and tournaments, which is one of the settings this medal was specified for.
School achievementSpecified regularly for school achievement. The imprint area at 1.2 in x 1 in is sized for exactly that job.
Participation recognitionA natural fit for participation recognition, which is one of the settings this medal was specified for.
Employee milestonesAnniversaries, promotions and retirements: the moments where a personalized object does what an email cannot.
Customer loyalty tiersA physical marker of status that an account dashboard cannot replicate.
Remote team welcome kitsShipped to a home address, which for a distributed team is the only physical touch the company gets.
Event and conference giftingHanded to qualified conversations rather than to everyone, so the spend goes where the pipeline is.

Where this works best

The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.

1

Nonprofit & Fundraising

Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Donors read the gift as a statement about stewardship. Something visibly expensive can cost you more in confidence than it earns in goodwill, which is why restraint and a personal inscription usually outperform scale in this sector. Medals scale to hundreds of recipients at a cost per person that no other award form matches. The unit cost here is low enough that reach matters more than restraint.

2

Sports Leagues, Tournaments & Clubs

Sport needs volume, deadlines and a clear hierarchy of awards. The order arrives before the results do, which means engraving strategy is the real decision. Generic plates with a separate engraved insert let you produce early and personalize late, and that is usually the difference between hitting the date and missing it. Laser engraving burns directly into the grain for a permanent mark. Expect slight tonal variation between pieces. Order deep. At this price the waste of a few extra is cheaper than running short.

3

Education, Schools & Universities

Education buys in waves: orientation, homecoming, graduation, staff appreciation. Budgets are tight and quantities are large, which pushes toward mid-tier items ordered in volume. Alumni and donor gifting is the exception: that is where the spend per unit rises sharply, because the return is measured in gifts rather than impressions. The medal format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. Volume is the point at $1.80; nobody is auditing this line item.

4

Government, Military & First Responders

This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Procurement documentation often takes longer than production. Quotes with fixed validity periods, documented lead times and clear line-item pricing move faster through approval than a better price presented informally. Cost per impression is the number that matters here, and it is very low.

What do buyers ask about SS510G?

How is this decorated?

We run laser engraving on SS510G as standard. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved. We can also run UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on SS510G is 1.2 in x 1 in. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing.

How long does production take?

Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. The clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you place the order. A free digital proof comes back within one business day of usable artwork, and nothing is produced until you approve it in writing. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.

What does it actually cost at quantity?

The published ladder on SS510G runs from $1.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.12 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.

Do you keep this item in stock?

Yes. The warehouse shows more than 1,000 of SS510G in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.

What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?

The personalization area on SS510G is 1.2 in x 1 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.

Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?

Yes. Give us the in-hand date and checkout tells you immediately whether standard production makes it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.

Can I order more later and have them match?

Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on SS510G runs from $1.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.12 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

What is the minimum order for SS510G?

SS510G can be ordered from a single piece. The published ladder on SS510G runs from $1.80 a piece at 1-11 down to $1.12 at 500+, about 38% less per piece. There is no setup fee at any quantity. The personalization area on SS510G is 1.2 in x 1 in.
